In South Africa, the major art of resistance during apartheid was jazz: a melting pot where folk songs and hymns defiantly mixed with influences from South Asia, America and West Africa. South African jazz's central formula — its equivalent to the 12-bar blues — is a buoyant, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhACPRwzIOo">four-chord progression</a> that even seems to evoke a blending motion.<p>But after 1994, this all started to lose its revolutionary edge. Jazz musicians now enjoyed free rein, but played a less clear role in the national narrative.Sat, 28 Mar 2015 10:03:00 +0000editor2028 at http://wclk.comThree Jazz Pianists, A Generation After ApartheidDardanelle Hadley On Piano Jazzhttp://wclk.com/post/dardanelle-hadley-piano-jazz

The genre <em>choro</em> — a word which means "cry" in Portuguese — is often described as "the New Orleans jazz of Brazil." Like its U.S. counterpart, both are Afro-Western hybrids which emerged in the early 20th century; both call for jam sessions showcasing improvisation and virtuosity. Both jazz and choro are also the domains of clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen.Thu, 26 Mar 2015 05:37:00 +0000editor2023 at http://wclk.comAnat Cohen's Roots Of RioWolff and Clark's Expedition 2, Exclusively on WCLKhttp://wclk.com/post/wolff-and-clarks-expedition-2-exclusively-wclk

The late, distinctively melodic jazz composer Kenny Wheeler was also a great trumpet player, though, being famously self-effacing, often declined to toot his own horn about his talents. Many musicians sang his praises, though, and when he died in 2014, saxophonist Steve Treseler and trumpeter Ingrid Jensen were inspired to revisit his music. As they traded notes and arrangements, they realized they had to record these tunes which had been so influential to their growth as musicians.Tue, 24 Mar 2015 23:46:00 +0000Patrick Jarenwattananon2021 at http://wclk.comIngrid Jensen And Steve Treseler Play Kenny WheelerBilly Strayhorn Smithsonian Jazz Appreciation Month Poster Available To All WCLK Membershttp://wclk.com/post/billy-strayhorn-smithsonian-jazz-appreciation-month-poster-available-all-wclk-members
